Resurging Covid-19

Let the surge serve as a reminder that we are not quite out of the woods yet.

In the days preceding Dashain, we witnessed an exodus of people from Kathmandu Valley, people wishing to reconnect with their loved ones and enjoy the festivities among warm, familiar surroundings. It was reported that more than 700,000 people left the valley . It was like old times again, but the negligence was quite evident. Images of people huddled together in buses were splashed across print media. But the repercussion of such close contact with Covid-19 positivity high enough to induce a spike was no cause for concern to the authorities or the public at large.
